Yellow Squash Troubleshoot

[Uatu]

Hello all,

I am new to the forum and would like to ask for help for my mother who planted yellow summer squash for the first time in this zone (7) and is experiencing something she’s never seen happen before.

The plants themselves are beautiful and healthy, and the zucchini and okra sharing the same bed and soil are also in perfect shape.

Only a handful keep doing this, but they are dying before blossoms ever fully open, and some that form fruits are stunted and gnarly.

If anyone here can identify the issue and make suggestions I would be very grateful!

Thanks.

You have a pollination problem. Either not fully pollinated or not pollinated at all.
